10. percent *100 =
(10.:100)*100 =
(10.*100):100 =
1000:100 = 10
Now we have: 10. percent of 100 = 10
Question: What is 10. percent of 100?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: Our output value is 100.
Step 2: We represent the unknown value with {x}.
Step 3: From step 1 above,{100}={100\%}.
Step 4: Similarly, {x}={10.\%}.
Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:
{100}={100\%}(1).
{x}={10.\%}(2).
Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both
equations have the same unit (%); we have
\frac{100}{x}=\frac{100\%}{10.\%}
Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives
\frac{x}{100}=\frac{10.}{100}
\Rightarrow{x} = {10}
Therefore, {10.\%} of {100} is {10}
100:.10*100 =
( 100*100):.10 =
10000:.10 = 100000
Now we have: 100 is what percent of .10 = 100000
Question: 100 is what percent of .10?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: We make the assumption that .10 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with {x}.
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that {100\%}={.10}.
Step 4: In the same vein, {x\%}={ 100}.
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
{100\%}={.10}(1).
{x\%}={ 100}(2).
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
\frac{100\%}{x\%}=\frac{.10}{ 100}
Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields
\frac{x\%}{100\%}=\frac{ 100}{.10}
\Rightarrow{x} = {100000\%}
Therefore, { 100} is {100000\%} of {.10}.
10% of 100 is 10
Working out 10% of 100
- Write 10% as 10/100
- Since, finding the fraction of a number is same as multiplying the fraction with the number, we have
10/100 of 100 = 10/100 × 100 - Therefore, the answer is 10
If you are using a calculator, simply enter 10÷100×100 which will give you 10 as the answer.
